Got my new Hoyt today, down from 60# to 50# and it feels perfect! Never owned a take down though, when you guys aren't using your take downs, do you keep them bolted or do you disassemble the limbs...

Yea I sent it back for an exchange for a 50#. I thought 40# was a breeze for the few years I shot, I then tried my friends 70# compound a few times and that wasn't bad. I didn't anticipate 60# on a...

Got my new Hoyt GameMaster II today (recurve), all in flat black, this thing is a beast!!! 60# is much heavier than i thought though, had trouble holding the arrow at full draw. Do you guys think I...

Do you guys know if I order shafts online and have them cut from them, will they be threaded/slotted for knocks and broadheads or is that something I have to get done on my own?

I definitely want to get into hunting later on. I have a 40# old recurve as well, I just wanted something with more oomph, and since my new one is a takedown, its much easier to transport.

Very nice basil!!! I'm curious does it shoot a little heavier than its rated? I've heard of a few people saying Hoyts tend to shoot a little heavier than their actual rated poundage.

SVMAD, I'm...

Thanks for the details SVMAD. It does make sense, so to increase FOC, simply increase frieldpoint/BH grain weight correct? I know eventually a dramatic increase in fieldpoint/BH weight will cause a...

^There are some stories out there of people shooting with arrows at incorrect lengths and the shaft splinters/shatters.

I do have some arrows that I recall were longer than the others, If I mark...

Yea I've checked out both those charts, I guess I need someone to measure the arrow length while I'm at draw to get an exact measurement.

Thanks SVMAD! I have heard that an FOC of greater than 10 is ideal, that doesn't help much haha. Does that mean 10%+ of the arrow's total weight lies in the broadhead? At the moment I'm shooting a 60...

You're the best Mick, thanks so much! Yea I think its best to get my arrows professionally fitted for the first time indeed, so much to factor in, FOC, KE and all that.

I've got a lot to catch up on. I'm looking at the Easton X7 Eclipse 2214 Shafts at 10.4 grains and 28" with a 125 grain field point (target arrows only for now). I've got a 60# bow, does that add up?...

So I'm just getting into building my own arrows and what not. My draw length is 28", does that mean that the shaft has to be 28" without the knock and broadhead?

If any of you guys have takedown recurves, I can't see how the can come anywhere near the power of traditional recurves. Don't the places where you lock in the limbs possess a weak point in the bow...

Interesting, I never thought of varying my shot angles from the same distance, I'll have to try that. I agree with what many have said, something about archery is very relaxing. I want to get into it...

I'm jealous of you guys with the recurves and longbows, I stopped practicing for a while and now I'm only accurate from about 10 yards.

@phoenix, sorry to hear about your shoulder man, definetely...

Lots of gun folks on here, which is cool but as for me, give me a bow and arrow any day! Any other archerers on here as well?
